So Me by Graham Norton
An intimate memoir of one of our loved TV presenters.
'A hugely engaging account of his life that is written with the same breezy bravura that he exhibits on telly.. There are points in the book when I found myself laughing out loud, and others when I was unusually moved ... Celebrity memoirs are rarely as genuine or as generously candid' -- Herald 20040827 'A frank, funny and sometimes tortured autobiography' -- Andrew Billen, The Times 20040827 'Frank and funny' -- Mirror 20040827 'Honest and entertaining ... he uses his quick wit and humour to amuse the reader from start to finish' -- The Sun 20040910 'A jaunty romp with oodles of humour' -- Hot Stars (OK) 20040910
Born in 1963, Graham Norton was brought up in County Cork, Ireland. His family was Protestant in a 98% Catholic area - his father was a Guinness representative and his mother a leading member of the Mother's Union. He dropped out after a year of studying at University College in Cork, went to San Francisco where he was briefly engaged and then moved to London to join the Central School of Speech and Drama and, until his late 20s, worked as a waiter and a barman. Graham first ventured into the world of comedy in the early 90s, and was nominated for the prized Perrier award in 1997, when he also appeared as Father Noel Furlong (the happiest, clappiest, campest priest) in 'Father Ted'. He then got his first TV break on Channel 5's 'Bring Me the Head of Light Entertainment'. In May 2000, he received the Bafta award for Best Entertainment performance for 'So Graham Norton'. His current chat show, 'Very Graham Norton' is on 5 times a week and pulls in 3 million viewers every night.
